AUTUMNAL EQUINOX.— Monday the 21st
niarked the Autumnal EQUINOX. A clear,
cool, bright, sunshiny day ushered in the
season ot the "sere and yellow leaf' with
not a hint of "melancholy days" or "mead
ows brown and sere" save here and there a
just tinged with the first faint lines of
Autumn's gorgeous handiwork.
EFFECTS OF CROWING TOO SOON.
SOMEBODY becoming highly elated over the
Colorado elections, and having no means of
exhibiting his joy, sent to Bedford for the
Gazette rooster. Accordingly a box was
made and the biped was shipped to Harris
burg—the next day we find him perched at
the top of a coluni in the Patriot crowing over
the Ku Klux gains in Maine, Vermont and
Colorado. The dase was too strong, the
effect of which was sudden sickness that
might have terminated in his death had it not
been for the magnanimity of the Telegraph
who borrowed him for one issue, and finding
him too weak for his biz, discharged him.
The rooster finding himself at liberty, broke
for "home" and crossing the path of our coon
was suddenly halted. Just then our special
artist came along and look the above hasty
sketch. He looks bad, and will look a great
deal worse iu October. Pen him up B. F. and
feed him on Water-melons, yeast corks or
something that swells —you ought to have him
fat before you hear from the state of South
ampton.
KC KLUXERS IN BLOODY RON. —The Sey
mour and Blair club of Bedford turned up in
Bloody Run on Saturday evening last. Not
being able to raise the wind here, they joined
the rebels of the above place, consolidated
the clubs and had another of their grand
mass meeting fizzles iu a room 8 by 10 feet, —
men, women and children numbering about
nineteen we suppose. Oh what joy—Look
| out for the Sarpents for they cau't stand the
j climate at the Run very long.
DEMOLITION- OP A CHURCH. —The old
Catholic churcb on East street is being torn
j down, in order to obtain the brick for use in
j the erection of the new church now iu pro
i cess of erection, on the corner of Richard
| and Peon streets. Workmen have been en
gaged on the work for a week or two past and
the walls are now all down except the east
ern end. The chapel along side the site of
the old church is now used for the regular
church services. "
THE Franklin County Agricultural Fair will
be held on the oth', 7th, Bth, and 9th, days of
October next at Chambersburg. We find our
neighbors all holding their regular Agricul
tural fairs, but Bedford county seems to have
entirely forgotten all the good resolutions of
last year. We suppose every body is so in
teut upon the election of Grant and Colfax
that there is no time left for looking after
agricultural matters.
FROST. —On Friday morning last we had a
genuine visit from jack frost. Owing to the
dense fog that arose shortly after daylight no
serious damage seems to have been done in
the immediate vicinity of the town. Reports
from various parts of the country however,
represent the damage done as being very
considerable, late corn and garden vegetables
generally having suffered severely.

Sabbath School Celebration.
The following communication should have

until too late for publication.
Nr. Editor: As you request local items
from different parts of the county, we comply
with your request and hope this may find a
place in the columns of your worthy paper.
On Saturday, Sept. sth, the citizens of New
Paris held the first Sabbath School celebra
tion ever held in this neighborhood and it re
flected great credit on all concerned. At an
early hour the citizens and children assem
bled at the church, which was beautifully
decorated with evergreeus, and presented a
pleasing appearance. All were deeply inter
ested. The school is composed ot ninety
scholars. There were in all present at the
exhibition over two hundred persons. After
the officers of the school had arranged their
respective classes, and when all was comple
! ted, addresses were delivered by Rev. J. F.
Tallhelm and Rev. W. J. Statler, upon the
utility of Sabbath schools. The school then
formed a procession bearing banners and
other devices, and marched to a beautiful
grove, where a large table groaned beneath
the weight of the comforts of life, exhibiting
great taste and skill ou the part of the ladies
of New Paris and vicinity, in crowning the
festal board with cakes, pies, fowls and oth
er delicacies. The scholars then surrounded
the table, and after imploring the blessing of
Almighty God, partook with a hearty good
will. Altogether the day was passed pleas
antly and we hope profitably. Long live the
ladies for their hospitality.

having a blessed re union in the Grand Lodge
of the sties.
Resolved, 3d, That we cherish the memory
of our departed Brethren as that of punctual,
consistant and energetic members of this

with the families of the deceased, in the-sore
affliction that has fallen upon them —that we
heartily commend them to the protection and
love of Him who says : "Leave thy fatherless
children, I will preserve them alive; and let
thy widows trust in me," and that we will
faithfully discharge toward tbem all the du
ties made binding upon us by the high and
Sacred principles ot our Order.
Resolved, sth, That the families of our de
parted brethren be furnished each with a
copy of these resolutions : also that a copy be
sent to the Bedford Gazette and Bedford IN
QUIRER with a request to publish the same.

the purest roots and herbs, carefully prepared,

lows: It operates
As a Powerful Invigorant.

The Chineee Gorcrnment having (through the
lion. Anson Burlingame) conceded to thie Compa
ny the privilege nf connecting the great etaporte
of the Empire by submarine electric telegraph ca
ble, we prnpote commencing operation • in China,
and laying down a line of nine hundred milee at
once, between the folltncing parte, viz :
Population,
Canton 1,000,000
Macoa 60,000
Hong-Kong —250,000
Swatow aao can
Amov 250.00(1
Foo-Chow - 1,250,000
Wan Chu 300,000
Ningpo 400,000
Hang Chcan 1.200,000
Shanghai 1,000,000
Total 5,910,000
These ports have a foreign commerce of $1)00,-
000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, wbichmust
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a
very large country, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by the local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Jfiltione, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is
as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and tho latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are cwned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclusively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within tho first
two years of its surcessful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of a vast national importance com
mercially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been unquali
fiedly recommended to capitalists and business
men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti
cles in the New York Herald, Tribune, World,
Timet, Pott, Ewprett, Independent, and in the
Philadelphia North American, Prcee, Ledger, In
quirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
Shares of this Company, to a limited number,
may he obtained at SSO each, $lO payable down,

HAIR VIGOR,
KOR Till
RENOVATION OF Til E HAIR.
THE UJIEAT DESIDERATUM of the. AVE:
A dressing which ie at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or
gray hair is soon restored to it* original color and
the gloee and freshness of youth. Thin hair la
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldne&° of
ten, though not always, iured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the falliciee are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of louling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and
vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
provent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not barm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DIIE SSI NG ,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy luetro and a grateful perfume.

sented which need only to be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as the INCOME
PRODrCING POLICY and RETURN PREMI

a few years, an annual income cyual to ten per
cent. (IV per cent.) of the par of kit policy. In
the latter, the Company agrees to retain to the
attured the total amount of money he hat paid in,
in addition to the amount of hit policy.
